In 2022 I was notified that two of my pieces, “Painted Horse” and “Horse with Storm” had been selected to be installed at the new UNM Hospital tower, here in Albuquerque, NM. When a piece has been selected for a public art installation it has to be framed and hung in very specific ways—plexiglass covering the surface and special anti theft hangers so it can go on the wall and not be removed. I think this piece has been hung in a patient’s room on the third floor, but I’m not sure since I didn’t do the hanging myself and the grand opening will be in October. I like to think that whoever has this piece in their room will enjoy sharing their space with this friendly, colorful guy, and perhaps, in some subtle way, help that person heal.
